| - | [* black] 2016, membraneless butterfly key |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] 2018, membraned key with silicon-looking semi-opaque dome switch cover |
| - | [* black] 2019, membraned key with a stiffer, fully translucent plastic dome switch cover |
| + | [* black] Let's take a look at this butterfly's lifetime so far: |
| + | [* black] In 2016 the butterfly switch was still in its most basic form, before users started reporting failures. |
| + | [* black] In 2018 Apple still hadn't formally acknowledged the key got a new silicone membrane to help keep out dust. The dome switch cover material also changed slightly to be semi-opaque and more silicone-like. |
| + | [* black] 2019's butterfly switch keeps the silicone membrane, but the dome switch cover changes again and is now fully translucent. |
